William Irving Turner

He served as a U.S. Forest Service architect and is credited with much of the design of Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon, an important and influential work.

It is believed that Turner's use of Picturesque style in the Timberline Lodge plans was influenced by architect A.E.

Earlier in his career he worked for architect Victor W. Voorhies, including on the Vance Building.
